Scripture

2 Chronicles 16

9 The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.

Observation

King Asa started out trusting in God and God gave him victories in battle but later in life he refused to call on the Lord, he trusted in his own resources and he trusted in his own strength. God called him a fool. He was so much a fool that when he got a terrible foot disease the Bible says that even then he refused to call on the Lord. You have to wonder why he didn’t look up when he looked down at his sore feet! God said this about King Asa, “What a fool you have been!” Hopefully he won’t say that about us!

King Asa was given opportunities, he was given wake up calls, but like a fool he ignored them. We are also given wake up calls. We are given opportunities to trust in the Lord.

Application

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. [6] Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
I will trust the Lord with “all” my heart!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, it is so easy to try to do things on our own and not take everything to you in prayer. It is too easy to rely on our own strength and not yours. Help me to rely on you today. Show me how powerful you are. It is my desire to trust you in every area of my life today. Help me to do just that!
